Although I do have to admit that I was expecting something lascivious, such as an adulterous relationship between Obaman, Lieberman, and Caesar from your fan club. Caesar, if your out there, I think I may have finally found a perfect match. He's a butcher. He's a good man....a little old, but a good man. Call me bubbula, and I'll introduce you.

I was told that he campaigned for/supported Lieberman <i>after</i> the latter's defection, and that just didn't sound right. Thanks–that’s the story I wanted info about.

If you could provide a link to or describe a a specific incident, I would be interested in knowing about it. At this point, all I know about the relationship between the two is that Senator Obama named Lieberman as his mentor when he was first elected to the Senate in 2004. He then initially supported Lieberman in Lieberman's re-election campaign, but then eventually ended up endorsing Lamont instead after Lieberman's defection from the Democratic Party (and at a time when Lieberman held a double-digit lead over Lamont - according to CBS News - October 27, 2006). Is this the "special" relationship you're referencing? Cause if it is, Obama is not the only person in Congress or in the voting public to have learned his or her lesson about Lieberman.

The only other Phillip Glass I've ever heard came from a different period, where his music consisted of jagged dissonant chords separated by extended periods of silence. This was actually quite pretty, if repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive The factoid about Eadweard Muybridge was new to me also. Interesting clip.
